These days we hear many news about using poor people as Human Shield, while Humanitarian regulations have prohibited this action absolutely, even Statute of International Criminal Court (ICC) has considered it as a War Crime. This article surveys the violation of the prohibition on using of Human Shield as a War Crime and its necessary elements and conditions too. On the other hand, whereas Statute of ICC enumerates it as a War Crime in International Armed Conflicts expressly, possibility or not being a War Crime in Non-International Armed Conflicts will be surveyed as well.
